Thanks for volunteering!
Ocrafolk Festival 2022 is currently gathering volunteer submissions and will make job assignments later in the spring. Once job assignments are made we will contact applicants with their schedule and ask them to confirm using this page.
Here is some information about volunteer locations, what tasks would be involved and a form that you can fill out to help us verify your time slot.

What Is Each Volunteer's Responsibility?
Box Office ~ This is where we sell Festival Tickets, where folks pickup PreOrdered Tickets, and where Sponsors Pick Up Rewards. The Main Box Office is on the grounds of Books to be Red and the Secondary Box Office is at the festival entrance on Howard Street.
Merch ~ The Merch Tent is where we sell Ocrafolk Festival Product, Performer Cds, and Beer Garden Ticket, and is also where we check ID for folks to receive an armband for getting alcohol.
Greeter ~ At the entrance to School Road, this Volunteer welcomes folks to the festival, hands out programs, explains where the Box Office is, and answers questions.
Sponsor Checkin ~ This Volunteer is located at the Main Merch Tent and greets Sponsors when they approach, finding their welcome packets and making sure that they have any items on the list that should be in their bag (Tickets, T-shirts, Beer Cups, etc.)
Grounds Workers ~ Set up and break down the festival grounds, signage, chairs, tables, etc.
Gate Workers ~ These Volunteers welcome folks into the performance areas and make sure that folks know they have to have an arm band to enter the gated area. If at the Live Oak Stage or the Berkley Manor, they also make sure that folks departing the grounds know they can't bring alcoholic drinks outside the Beer Garden Grounds (Live Oak Stage Area, or Berkley Manor Area).
What Is My Assignment?
Step 1 ~ Look at the list below and find your name. In most cases you will appear twice for two 2-hour shifts (a total of 4 hours). Times will probably have shifted since the original form that you sent in, but we try to find something close to your request.
Step 2 ~ If your name is in Red that means we have not yet received confirmation from you about that time slot. If it is in Green, you have confirmed. If you would like to pick up an extra shift (FABULOUS!), we have noted where we Need Volunteer.
Step 3 ~ To confirm your time and task, fill out the form at the bottom of the page and respond. If you need to make a change to our proposed time slot, please let us know your request and we will do our best to find something that works. We will post updates on this form a couple times a day.
Step 4 ~ Come to the festival! Your tickets will be waiting for you at the Box Office. Please plan to be at your volunteer location 5 minutes before your start time so you can relieve the previous worker.
